I scrolled through the Washington Post page and just by looking at the pictures, it's a bad story. China is known to have advanced technology, but they the major problem with pollution, specifically smog. We watched a documentary about environmental problems and climate change. There were places in China that has received more than 100 days of smog and bad air. One girl was interviewed and said she never seen the stars, blue skies, and even clouds. This article mentions about chemicals from factory operations that affects the citizens nearby with health problems and can affect the water supply. Mines are also in operations and those can create similar situations. Chapter 64 talks about how Greenpeace tries to persuade people to not do any more damage to the ecosystem. Efforts go with the Quakers and that have sensitive morals with political responsibilities. Media attention has also been captured for Greenpeace as well. According to the article, Greenpeace has two direct moves. The first one is documenting significant actions taking place. The second one is campaigning on depletion of the ozone layer.
